The HBO and Channel 4 drama has landed in the US, but when will it be coming to the UK?
With first-look images and a trailer for Get Millie Black having been released recently, excitement for the gripping five-part drama has steadily been building for some time now.

The new drama is a co-production between HBO and Channel 4 and in a similar fashion to the recently released third season of Industry, UK fans have to wait that bit longer for the series to land on our screens.

What is Get Millie Black about?
The new series marks the screenwriting debut of Booker Prize award-winning author Marlon James and has been described as "a vivid, unflinching, and gripping five-part crime noir".
According to the official synopsis: "Get Millie Black follows the inimitable Millie-Jean Black, a police detective who quits Scotland Yard to return home to Jamaica, where she is soon pursuing a missing persons case that threatens to expose more than she may be willing to confront.
"Get Millie Black is a deeply personal and wholly authentic version of Kingston, which has never been seen on screen before. Told through the unique perspective of Millie (Tamara Lawrance) – a girl born on the Rock, raised in London, who claims to be both British and Jamaican, Millie yet somehow belongs to neither place.
"It is a story peopled by a host of unforgettable characters; ‘gully queen’ Hibiscus (Chyna McQueen), her brilliant partner on the Jamaican Police Force, Curtis (Gershwyn Eustache Jnr), who is forced to keep his love life secret from his colleagues; game-playing Scotland Yard Inspector Luke Holborn (Joe Dempsie); and Hit Girl (Dorothy ‘Patra’ Smith), go-go-club owner and underworld entrepreneur."
